Overview
The national school network Expeditionary Learning, one of our leading Deeper Learning exemplars, has recently seen demand for its services expand enormously. It has grown from a small network of 100 schools to a major curriculum and professional development organization serving the state and city of New York, Delaware, Newark, and several other major districts and states. The network is now facing the challenge of rapidly building its internal capacity to deliver these services. This general operating support grant would provide flexible funds to meet this challenge and take advantage of Expeditionary Learning’s growth opportunity.
